The AAT Level 3 Diploma in Accounting offers Technical training in accounting and is ideal for anyone wishing to pursue a career in accountancy and finance.

The purpose of the Level 3 Diploma in Accounting is to provide students with the specialist knowledge and skills required for progress to employment in an accounting or finance role, or to further study in accountancy and finance.

AAT does not set any prerequisites for the study of the AAT Advanced Diploma in Accounting.  However, for the best chance of success, we recommend that students have completed the Foundation Certificate in Accounting or have relevant work experience alongside a good standard of English and maths.  If students do have any other relevant school or college qualifications, a degree, or some accounting experience, these may in certain circumstances entitle students to claim exemptions.

The Level 3 Diploma is a potential route into employment with a globally recognised qualification accrediting the skills and knowledge required by employers.  On completion, students can successfully undertake a role in finance.  It can also be a stepping stone to further education, with students progressing onto the Level 4 Diploma in Professional Accounting.  It may be suited to students studying part time alongside employment or to those already working in Finance.  This qualification will also suit those looking to gain the skills required to move into a career in finance as it provides a clear pathway towards a successful career in accounting and finance.

Business Awareness                                                    Computer based exam

The results for both modules take five to six weeks.  You are graded as an overall Pass, Merit or Distinction once all assessments are complete.  The Pass mark is 70% for each assessment.

This qualification is part of a suite of AAT qualifications available to students that offer both horizontal and vertical progression channels.  Completion of this qualification can provide progression onto the Associate Bookkeeping membership, where students will gain professional recognition with the designatory letters AATQB.  Students may also progress onto Professional level and become a full member of AAT upon achieving the associated membership criteria.

Skills developed through this qualification could lead to employment as:

Account Assistant                                Accounts Payable                            Audit Trainee

This course enables those student already with a Level 3 Certificate in Bookkeeping qualification to study two further units to enable them to gain the full Level 3 Diploma in Accounting.

This qualification is a progression route for students who have achieved the Level 3 Certificate in Bookkeeping.

Successful completion of Level 3 will depend on a high level of commitment from students.  This course reaquires significant home study between lessons, we generally recommend 6 hours per week.
